My Mexican Soup Too Spicy, How Would You Have Fixed It?
Comments (8)When I used to make hot (spicy) chicken wings for a yearly get together, I found that adding butter (called for in the recipe) removed all the heat, so I cut way back on butter--to taste. Seems it would work opposite here. I just searched "too spicy" on the Cooking Forum and the answers often suggest sour cream or dairy. Think you'd have to use a lot less butter than sour cream, leaving your original recipe more intact....See MoreDo You Have Something Different To Fix For Christmas?
Comments (8)Saffron buns....traditional Christmas rolls when DH was growing up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We just bought some really good saffron while on vacation. Saffron Buns yield : 18-24 375 degrees F about 20 minutes 1 cake or pkg. yeast 2 1/2 tsp. 3/4 cup warm water 1 cup milk 1/8th tsp powdered saffron....I use the threads and used more. (But my saffron was old.) sugar....I used some in the water for the yeast....not much 3 Tbsp for the dough Pearl sugar for the top 1 tsp. salt 1/4 cup butter 2 eggs at room temperature one egg for batter and one to beat and brush on top Flour in divided amounts.....about 3 1/2 or so cups total 1/2 cup raisins or currants Combine yeast in warm water and sugar if desired maybe a teaspoon or so and stir it to dissolve Warm the milk with the saffron and combine with 3 Tbsp sugar, salt and butter. Stir until the butter is melted. Beat one egg and add to milk mixture when cooled enough. Add one cup flour and the yeast mixture. Beat well. Add additional flour (about 2.5 cups) to make a soft but not sticky batter. But in raisins just before beating the dough, I guess. Knead lightly and put into a greased bowl, turn dough upside down so all sides are greased. Cover with a cloth and allow to rise until double in bulk. I used a dough pot with a lid. Knead down and turn out on a lightly floured board. Form into a long roll. Cut into 18-24 pieces, depending on what size you want. Form into smooth balls. Put on buttered baking sheets, flatten slightly and let rise until double. I covered them with waxed paper. Can also use muffin tins but I never have. Brush tops with remaining egg lightly beaten and sprinkle with sugar. Bake in a preheated 375 degree F. oven for about 20 minutes or until nicely browned. Watch closely near the end so the sugar doesn't start to burn. Cool rise method: Can knead dough until smooth and elastic, let it rise for about 20 minutes. Prepare into rolls, place in a pan, brush with oil and cover with waxed paper and then cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 2-24 hours. Unwrap dough carefully and let stand at room temperature uncovered for ten minutes. Then brush with egg and sprinkle with sugar and bake as directed. I usually just make them the same day. I think you could just chill all the dough and then form the rolls, etc....See MoreIf you don't amend the soil then how do you fix it if it drains fast?
Comments (28)I can definitely say that I am in the average category for one part and in the slow category for the other part of the lawn. I'm in the middle of performing another one with three separate holes. After 30 minutes the top two holes at the highest point of the lawn have dropped three and 4 inches respectively and will definitely drain within two hours. The hole at the way bottom of the lawn where all the water runoff is has only dropped about a half of an inch. No grass grows at this downward slope portion. I did the shake the jar test last night and am waiting for the Clay to settle to determine the composition of the soil. The confusion stems from statements like these: "Properly draining soil drains at a rate of 1 to 2 inches per hour. If the soil drains at any other rate, modifications to the soil are needed." http://homeguides.sfgate.com/increase-soil-drainage-24306.html "If the water takes from three to 12 hours to drain, then the drainage is adequate for most landscape plants (about 1 inch per hour). If it takes more than 12 hours, then the drainage is poor." -http://essmextension.tamu.edu/treecarekit/index.php/before-the-storm/tree-identification-and-selection/identification-of-and-corrective-action-for-poorly-drained-soils-in-the-landscape/ In well-drained soil the water level will go down at a rate of about 1 inch an hour. A faster rate, such as in sandy soil, may signal potentially dry site conditions; http://agebb.missouri.edu/agforest/archives/v10n2/gh14.htm...See MoreDo You Fix Food From Your Childhood For Holidays?
Comments (12)Other than the traditional Turkey, ham, mashed potatoes and stuffing. I do not make anything from my childhood holiday meals. My family made things like candied yams with the marshmallow topping, pistachio pudding with the pineapple, marshmallows and I want to say cottage cheese or something like that and a version of I guess you would call it Waldorf salad. I called it apple salad with mayonnaise, nuts, raisins and I forget what else. Sadly none of those things appeal to me as an adult but they were staples at all the family holiday dinners. We also always had ribbon candy and these little candies made with fruit and nuts and sadly I haven't even had those since I was a kid. I do make things from my husbands family holiday dinners though. Like sausage stuffing. I first had it when we had Christmas dinner with his family and I have been hooked every since. Also like to make the Portuguese Roast Pork and Linguica his family likes to have at Christmas as well. I do remember my great grandmother making rum balls and rum soaked fruit cake as well. I do like fruit cake but I do not like anything with alcohol in it because I don't drink the flavor is over powering to me. But I do remember all the adults getting each other stockings full of different nip bottles and giving them to each other. They enjoyed their cocktails :) it is funny I just never acquired a taste for alcohol even though most of my family enjoyed it....See More- 5 years ago
